Hello, I'm Larissa
I take products from concept to shelf.
I've spent 15+ years in product development and operations — working with luxury brands, sustainable startups, and founder-led businesses to get physical products designed, sourced, manufactured, and delivered. I've done this across multiple categories: fashion, knitwear, homeware, accessories, and illustrated products.
Now I work independently with designers, founders, and private clients who need someone to manage the product development process — from finding the right manufacturer and getting samples right, through to costing, production planning, and delivery. I also help businesses that are growing faster than their operations can handle, building the systems and processes that make product development work at scale.
What I do
Product development — turning concepts and briefs into production-ready products across multiple categories
Sourcing and manufacturing — finding the right suppliers, managing sampling, negotiating MOQs, coordinating production
Range planning and product strategy — identifying gaps, developing new product lines, aligning creative direction with commercial targets
Costing and pricing — making sure the numbers work before anything gets committed
Operational infrastructure — building the systems, workflows, and processes that make product development repeatable and scalable
Quality control — specifications, tech packs, and standards that protect the end product
Who I work with
Designers and creatives developing physical product ranges
Founders building product businesses who need senior production expertise without a full-time hire
Established brands launching new product categories or scaling existing ones
